[Contract marriage] [Marriage first, love later + second male lead becomes the love interest] After being dumped, Qin Fei is set up on a blind date, but she goes to the wrong table and ends up sitting across from the powerful sworn enemy of her ex-boyfriend.
Qin Fei: “We can set a time limit and sign a one-year contract. When it expires, we can divorce amicably on the grounds that we’re incompatible. I only want the title, and I won’t touch your money.”
Gu Yanzhi: “If you want the title, then let’s make it official first. Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now. Do you dare?”

After the wedding, Qin Fei realizes she married the wrong person. She wants to divorce him and leave, but he refuses, so she eventually gives in. “I need your help getting my shares back. That’s my only request. I’ll play the part of your wife and protect your reputation in public. In private, I won’t interfere in your life.”
“No problem.”
“Are you sure you only need a wife in name, to put an end to the rumors about your sexual orientation?”
“I need a wife to deal with my family, stabilize the stock price, and shut certain people up.”

“So, Mrs. Gu, now we’re even! You stole my first kiss, and I crossed the line with you, too.”
His gaze falls on her lips, and his eyes darken. “But since it was both our first time and neither of us has any experience, we can practice together, slowly, until you’re satisfied.”

When they marry by contract, Qin Fei’s only requirement is that they stay out of each other’s business. All she wants is to get back what belongs to her. As they spend time together, Gu Yanzhi is the first to fall for her. He sends business her way, puts on an act in front of their elders, and takes tender care of her when she’s sick. Their feelings grow stronger. She fights her way through every obstacle and finally reclaims her mother’s inheritance. She comes to rely on the sense of security he gives her, while he becomes addicted to her.
